Working on
a new song called Little Clouds at the moment. We are aiming to
produce a new album of material this year, all new songs with a
more mellower feel. We are still seeking other players to join the
band - bass player and drummer to be specific, plus a lead guitarist
and/or a keys player- however, until such time as we have a full
band we are available for acoustic gigs. |

SWANAGE
CARNIVAL 31st JULY
We played
an awesome gig at Swanage Carnival on Sunday night to a crowd
of about 60-80 people with Roger Deacon-Smith as our special guest
on bass. Big thanks to all who came to see us.
Sadly our
line up of Joules Kilgallon, Jake Daniels and Leigh Greenham is
now no more. Leigh had to leave in June due to work commitments
and now Joules also has left due to family and work, and Jake
wants to concentrate on his own band and exams later on this year.
We had an awesome sound with these guys and there was a great
vibe in the band for the music. Joules brought some beautiful
playing to the songs especially Keep the Faith, Love is You, Dragon
Dreams, Crashing Trees, Water or Wine and Broken Bridge. Likewise
Jake was totally awesome, he is a major young talent, his playing
on Who Is She was awesome and Keep the Faith especially. Leigh
was brilliant also having a great sense of what to play for each
song and a full bass sound, again producing the songs in the right
way for the songs like Love is You, Crashing Trees and Keep the
Faith.
Thankfully we managed 3 recording sessions over this year and
this gives us a good starting point to try and find new people.
We did some great gigs (Poole Park Festival, The Winchester, Champions,
Four Horse Shoes Festival, Swanage Carnival) and had a lot of
fun and we are sad but we plan to find new players and do more
gigs.
We are currentlly
seeking new band members - bass, lead guitar and drums. |

THE
FOUR HORSE SHOES MUSIC FESTIVAL 4TH JUNE: The day was hot
and sunny and there was a good crowd of about over 2500 people.
Rocket Dogs were the first band on did a good covers set and there
were some fine acoustic sets from the second stage. We got up on
the main stage around 6.30pm - still sunny and warm. The stage was
awesome, 40ft wide with great lighting and p.a. system. The festival
was really well run and there were loads of activities for families
- we had a go at Shoot Out! and were rubbish! I thought about Zorbing
but no...
The gig was enjoyable although I was nervous :L - I think we all
were a bit as it was one of the biggest crowds we've played to so
far and only our 3rd gig together. Once we got going though it came
together well and the crowd got into it which was lovely, especially
our songs Risky, Falling and Drive Awaythe Dark. Thanks to Snead
for being a fan :)
At first it took some adjusting to hear things properly on stage
as we didn't have a sound check just a line check and then straight
into it. After the first song though it was ok. The sound techs
were brilliant and helpful.
Highlights for me were Vicky's singing on Drive Away the Dark, Joules's
solo on I Know, Jake's drum solo and Leigh on Risky and Keep the
Faith. Also after we'd done our set it was a band called 71 Chain
whose front man is Chris Lappage and I loved it. Really good thought
felt lyrics and great playing.
We've got some photos and video which will be online soon. We hope
to be back there next year. |

We had a lovely
gig at the Winchester last night, it was great to launch the new
band there. It was our first gig together since forming over Christmas
last year so it's been a while to wait to get on stage together
for the first time and it was great :) Connie recorded the gig so
we're hoping to put up some live tracks and Sunnie and Grish were
doing photos and video - big thanks to Alex, Mark and Connie for
such a good night. |

We had a fantastic
time at Poole Park Fest. We played Stage II on Sunday, this stage
was hosted by DJ Radio, a new local radio station for Bournemouth,
Christchurch and Poole. The are online at www.djradio.co.uk. We
were then asked to play the main stage on the Monday and it was
amazing. Big thanks to Elaine and all the Friends of Poole Park
for putting on this great event. There were about 3000 people there
when we played (in the main field) and it was our biggest gig yet
- we have
some video of the gig here of us doing Love is You. We hope
to play the fest next year as a full band. |

Since the
band took a break back in June to seek a new guitarist, Bram Stoker,
Rob Haines old band have reformed so he has now sadly had to withdraw
his commitment to Peachy Jane. Rob is a fantastic drummer and
we enjoyed our time working with him. Steve Chapman also made
a considerable contribution to the band musically playing on our
new single and gigging with us at some of our most memorable gigs
so far. We wish them both the best of luck in their future musical
endeavours.
Currently
we are auditoning bass players and now obviously seeking a drummer
to complete the line up. |
